New Job

Woot! I got a new job today! Turned in my resignation! I will be an assistant systems administrator for the Federal Government. I will be working with the Federal Public Defenders office of the Eastern District of Missouri. This will position myself nicely so that when the kids are out of high school I have the availability to transfer if I want to. More money and less hours. I am on call right now 24/7 and that is not exaggerating and I am just tired of it.

Just found out that I qualify for partial student loan forgiveness with this new job. Becuase of my divorce and subsequent child support payments I haven't paid off any of my student loan debt. Now I might have up to $63,000 forgiven.

Fyi...loan forgiveness is also considered income and the IRS will tax the crap out of it and potentially put you in another tax bracket.

Even so - the tax will only be 35% or less of the $63K, so he'll get at least 40K of actual reduction in payment. I call that a win.
